Your MIL most likely read this (or a similar) article (Fitness Magazine).

It is great that you love your veggies, and there is a limit to eating even healthy foods within moderation. The caveat that your MIL missed, however: limits on good foods depend upon if you have a predisposition towards a certain condition. For instance, if you are prone to kidney stones, broccoli is a high-oxalate foods, and eating more than 2 cups of broccoli every day exacerbate this condition.

It is recommended that you do not consume more than 1-2 cups of broccoli per day, and be sure to vary the types of fruits and vegetables you consume daily, so that you are receiving the best variety of nutrition.

Thanks for your question!
